A talented 11-year-old girl joins a hip-hop dance troupe.

Critics Consensus

A thoughtful look at the intricacies of girlhood in the modern age, Cuties is a coming-of-age film that confronts its themes with poignancy and nuance.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Doucouré made this from a very personal place. The keenest parts explore the push/pull of her Muslim upbringing.

Rated: 4/5

We need more feminist stories like Cuties that illuminate the constraints girls and women face and help us chart a path to full gender equality.

In both horrific scenes and adorable ones, what remains consistent is Doucouré's honesty.

Sometimes uncomfortable and others too radical, Cuties is an eye-opener with an inspired ending, despite the troublesome scenes we witnessed seconds earlier.

Sometimes I have the feeling that sobriety is absent and the complaint material remains in a repetitive field that only adds questions insignificantly. [Full review in Spanish]

This was a unbearably uncomfortable watch from start until I couldn't in good conscience finish the movie. The director needs to be put in jail and I have serious concerns for the mental and physical well being of any child who is around anyone who thought anything about this movie was appropriate or good. It's nothing but children dancing inappropriately.

If there was an option to give it 0 stars I would this movie is super horrendous is literally softcore cp and that fact that it has a 86% on here is really disgusting those girls were harmed and abused during the production of this film! If you're defending this movie you should be in jail! This is the worst thing that I had ever watched!
